This web site was started in 1997 and it holds information that we have found about various
clock and watchmakers, and so far has
35,756 records in its database. The information comes from listings published in books and trade directories that we have in our library, giving
dates that makers are known to have been working. At the moment, the database includes
31,947
individual trade directory entries from
363
trade directories and more detailed biographies for
